Nearly 300 Wi-Fi 7 APs. Multi-gig switching. 19,500 seats connected. 8.22TB of traffic handled seamlessly. This is bigger than “better Wi-Fi.” It’s about creating a foundation that powers ticketing, concessions, AV, operations, and the entire fan experience at scale. #WiFi7 #Networking #DigitalTransformation #LiveEntertainment #RUCKUSNetworks #EnterpriseNetworking #Innovation

This is what innovation and execution look like. A full Wi-Fi 7 network transformation across Oakland Arena in just 13 days, with zero downtime and sold-out events running seamlessly. Huge milestone for modern venue infrastructure and a great example of how the right technology can completely elevate both operations and fan experience.

A great example of the power behind RUCKUS access points—delivering high-density, high-performance connectivity at scale without compromising reliability. What really stands out is the record deployment time: a full arena network transformation in just 13 days is remarkable, proving that with the right technology and execution, even the most demanding environments can be upgraded faster than traditionally expected. #Wifi7 #Ruckus #LargeVenues

Oakland Arena replaced its entire network in 13 days. Up to 10x faster connectivity, zero downtime, and two consecutive sold-out concerts to prove it. The California venue deployed Wi-Fi 7 across 19,500 seats and handled 8.22 terabytes of live event traffic over two days with 100% switch uptime. At full capacity, the previous infrastructure couldn't reliably support the demand. High latency, buffering, and disconnects were real risks every event. Typical arena deployments take months. RUCKUS Networks and Fortis Solutions LLC - Innovations delivered the full overhaul in less than two weeks: nearly 300 RUCKUS Wi-Fi 7 access points, ICX switches with multi-gig and 10-gig ports, and a complete routing and switching refresh. Oakland Arena & Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum now runs ticketing, AV, concessions, and venue operations on a single high-capacity network. Lower infrastructure costs. Simpler operations. Built to handle the next decade of demand. Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eFynyb9h #WiFi7 #VenueOperations #NetworkInfrastructure

As large public venues face growing demand for seamless connectivity, 6 GHz Wi-Fi is opening new opportunities for faster speeds, lower latency, and better user experiences at scale. Our latest whitepaper explores what venue operators, IT leaders, and network architects need to know about deploying 6 GHz Wi-Fi in high-density environments — from stadiums and arenas to convention centers and campuses.

In live production, mobility is incredibly valuable! The ability to move cameras freely across a venue, track, course, or event space without relying on fiber pulls or fixed cable paths can open up new creative angles and reduce deployment complexity. But the key question is: Can wireless deliver the consistency that broadcast teams expect from wired infrastructure? For event environments, that means thinking beyond basic connectivity and looking at glass-to-glass latency, uplink capacity, frame reliability, mobility across the venue, return video and tally support, and performance under crowd density. This is where Private 5G becomes interesting. Instead of treating wireless camera feeds as a compromise, Private 5G can provide a dedicated, production-grade uplink designed around the needs of live video. The goal is not just to make cameras wireless. The goal is to make wireless feel wired. Curious how others in broadcast, sports, and live production are thinking about this right now. Would love to connect and compare notes! #GXC #Private5G #EventConnectivity #BroadcastTech #LiveProduction #SportsTech #WirelessInfrastructure #VenueTech

⚡Some news⚡ We've just completed a €1.2m programme of 4G and 5G network upgrades across some of Ireland’s busiest and most demanding locations. This significantly improves mobile performance for customers in high‑footfall environments like Croke Park, Aviva Stadium, 3Arena, Dublin Airport and Dundrum Town Centre 🤝 The upgrades form part of over €2 billion invested by Three Ireland to date in building and developing its business in Ireland, including €1.1 billion dedicated to upgrading and expanding network and IT infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/ezu7y8KC

What you’re looking at isn’t just a system diagram. It’s a rethinking of how audio flows. ⚡ NEX:T AXIO acts as the decentralized routing hub connecting your entire production ecosystem - FOH, monitors, broadcast, playback, wireless, and recording. Every destination receives its own clean split. Every console operates independently. Every workflow runs in parallel. With 32-bit mic-level conversion and intelligent routing via Stagenet, signal sharing no longer means compromise—it means precision distribution at scale. One source. Multiple worlds. Zero conflict. This is how control stays local while everything stays connected. This is not evolution. This is re-architecture.
